Challenges

•  Standardize the environment for managing complex engineering projects including public services infrastructures and private initiatives  

•  Gain greater visibility into the planning and development of each civil construction project to ensure completion on time and within budget

•  Support project designers’ decision-making processes with a robust scheduling and project development tool
 

A word from Construções e Comércio Camargo Corrêa S/A

“Oracle’s Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management is a robust tool that supports almost 100,000 daily activities within the more than 40 projects we manage simultaneously—apart from enabling us to work with 4-D simulations.”

– Darcio Mandarano, Corporate Systems Manager, Construções e Comércio Camargo Corrêa S/A

Solutions

•  Deployed Oracle’s Primavera solutions to efficiently manage construction projects more efficiently, automating and integrating processes which were previously managed by disparate tools

•  Streamlined decision-making through the use of deadline simulations that provided a tighter and more accurate scheduling process for each project

•  Centralized schedules, giving visibility into all activities for each project—from pouring the foundation, through to the end of construction—facilitating situation analysis and project coordination

•  Achieved market- edge by using 4-D construction simulations, with the ability to simulate the point where a certain project is or should be by integrating Primavera with virtual models from other programs to improve the control of activities

•  Provided online access to the project management system, allowing team members to get information when and where they need it

•  Reduced software licensing and training costs by standardizing on a single system space and by relying on Oracle Partner Verano for training 74 users of the new tool
